I can’t hate you anymore
Saturday, October 14th, 2006Below are the lyrics of "I can’t hate you anymore" by Nick Lachey..It’s such a touching and deep song that enabled me to reflect on myself. No, I am not going through a breakup but it made me understand how one can suffer because of love and yet be so forgiving. Thankfully my relationship is strong as ever despite the pitfalls that we’ve encountered.
I did not build a relationship only to watch it fall apart and I did not love someone only to let him go…So, to those insensitive people who expect me to dump my loving and adorable soon-to-be hubby can get lost!
An empty room can be so deafening,
The silence makes you wanna scream,
It drives you crazy.
I chased away the shadows of your name,
And burned the picture in a frame,
But it couldn’t save me.
And how could we quit something we never even tried,
Well you still can’t tell me why.
We built it up,
To watch it fall.
Like we meant nothing at all.
I gave and gave the best of me,
But couldn’t give you what you need.
You walked away,
You stole my life,
Just to find what your looking for.
But no matter how I try,
I can’t hate you anymore.
…I can’t hate you anymore.
You’re not the person that who you used to be,
The one I want who wanted me,
And that’s a shame but,
There’s only so many tears that you can cry.
Before it drains the light right from your eyes,
And I can’t go on that way.
And so I’m letting go of everything we were,
It doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.
We built it up,
To watch it fall.
Like we meant nothing at all.
I gave and gave the best of me,
But couldn’t give you what you need.
You walked away,
You stole my life,
Just to find what your looking for.
But no matter how I try,
I can’t hate you anymore.
Sometimes you hold so tight,
It slips right through your hands.
Will I ever understand?
We built it up,
To watch it fall.
Like we meant nothing at all.
I gave and gave the best of me,
But couldn’t give you what you need.
You walked away,
You stole my life,
Just to find what your looking for.
But no matter how I try,
I can’t hate you anymore.
